There are some days when I feel like Sinéad O’Connor, because I wish people would fight the real enemy, and not things like making live music on TV sound halfway decent. Take the nominees for the Nickelodeon-sponsored Kids’ Choice Awards, which are being handed out next month. Katy Perry‘s Girls Gone Wild Gone Radio-Ready “I Kissed A Girl” for Favorite Song? The bumping and grinding and whining Pussycat Dolls for Favorite Music Group? I weep for the youth, especially since in the latter category two of the three alternatives presented to them are Daughtry and Linkin Park. (The third is the Jonas Brothers, who yeah are probably shoe-ins anyway, but still! Principles!) A rundown of all four music-related categories after the jump.

Wow, that is just evil.
I honestly didn’t know Linkin Park was still making music. Do disaffected suburban 14-year-olds really have nothing else to listen to?
What, no “Lollipop”?
